Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Kilcrea Vale (2.40 Ascot)

Talented and still relatively lightly raced, he goes well fresh and looks well treated on his return to action.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Kayf Grace (2.05 Ascot)

Dual bumper winner who made a successful hurdling debut at Bangor almost a year ago. Nicky Henderson's mare can make a winning return.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Don Bersy (3.50 Ascot)

Ran no sort of race last time out, but it was very testing ground and he should have come on for that run. Off a mark of 130 he is capable of going well.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Smiling Eliza (7.30 Dundalk)

The Gordon Elliott-trained daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar has been knocking on the door here on her last two nursery starts, going down by a head to Militry Decoration when a 20-1 shot then finishing a close-up fourth of 14 behind Storm Has Broken when favourite. She can take the honours under Oisin Orr.
